Your Mindset Affects Your Wealth

By Leslie Abbott

Mindset Money Maker -- Your Guide to Greater Riches!

There are many influences in life that we rarely give much attention to. Few people think about how our culture, sociology, government control or education influence and affect our mindset toward money.

Some people think that the love of money is evil. Some think that having too much money is greed while others think that having not enough is responsible for much of the disparity that exists in our world.

One of the first things that we teach people is that money is neutral. What you think about money and wealth is taught and handed down to you by others. How you gather, spend or save money depends upon your life and career choices.

Another basic teaching is that if you have no money you cannot give any away or spend anything. If you have just enough money, you will get by. If you have more wealth, you can then choose to spend more, save more, or give away more to needy organizations. In fact, helping others often becomes the greatest joy of having more money than you really need.

One thing I know about most people is that they want more money. In fact, the very basic human nature within us desires to have more. Therefore, in one way or another, people will attempt to earn more, make more, save more, invest more, looking toward their personal futuristic goals.

Many people today with the surge of the internet are looking for new and creative ways to earn money at home. A great majority of wealth building information sold over the web that promises untold riches has one disastrous weakness. They were handed life on a silver platter! In other words -- they became wealthier because they were already had some wealth to use as seed money!

They could afford to hire people to write articles, they could afford to hire programmers, and they could buy their way up the ladder.

And just how does that make You any richer? Not all! Zippo, nada, nothing in it for you!

If you are like me that is not what your life is at all. When you have nothing, you start with nothing, and often times, you do nothing.

The sad fact is that it perfectly normal for you to be so discouraged that you Give Up before you even get started on a path toward greater wealth.

I as a child was abused by my mother, by others in a foster home, and by the time I quit school in grade ten, I had no self-esteem, no direction or encouragement in life as to what I would be good at or should pursue.

I started out as a dishwasher in a large hotel chain, later became a cook, and then remembered that I liked to drive the tractor on the farm when the hired man let me (in exchange for sexual abuse) and so I thought I will go driving truck.

People think that truckers have a lot of money but the opposite is true. Most work 14-16 hour days, with many hours sitting at the dock with no pay. Sometimes I sat at a truck stop up to five days with no pay waiting for a load.

We only made money when the wheels were turning. Most drive 600 plus miles a day if we were not sitting at the dock, minus the normal deductions, required cell phones costs, and the high cost of meals in the restaurants.

For the amount of time one must spend away from home and their families, and the amount of hours put in at the dock or driving, it was an unbelievable hourly wage below minimum standards.

That is five to eight dollars an hour in today’s economy and there are No labor standards for truck drivers anywhere in the world. That is why there is a shortage of drivers and why Unemployment Insurance sponsors the unemployed to driving schools. The endless cycle continues.

It makes me sick to think about how many hours of my life were wasted making the corporations rich. Sometimes, I had to decide to pay my mortgage or pay the cell phone bill, or buy groceries. Sometimes I literally felt like crying because my pay check was so meager.

So, now that were on the same page. There is nothing special about me and most likely there is nothing special about you.

Except, maybe one thing? We were born fighters. We are survivors. We will and can make a difference.

One of my favorite phrases in life is, ‘I Think I Can’ based upon a beginners child book ‘The Little Engine That Could’ by Watt Piper.

My life changed in 1999 when I took a risk and went to college with a grade ten education. At the age of 29 I went thinking that I will try one semester. If I made it, I will go the text semester, and I will just keep deciding as I went along. Four years later I graduated with a grade point average of 3.8 and my self-esteem was highly boosted. Wow what a change for me.

But I did not stop there. I took some short term business courses at little cost to me, and I continued to learn. But, it was not until 2005 that my wealth building journey really began. At that time I was going through a divorce with more tentacles than an octopus, followed by bankruptcy, and major depression.

Initially I got into Internet Marketing trying to make it rich Fast to avoid bankruptcy when my Ex-wife refused to pay her share of the debt.

I bought all kinds of programs and gimmicks, and I learned the hard way. Instead of preventing bankruptcy, it hastened me faster to that end.

But, the idea of Internet Marketing thrilled me so much that I kept buying materials, reading content and you know what I found out?

I could not make money doing what others were telling me to do. The copy cat programs did not work. I had to find out what works for me and why?

That is when I discovered that millions of people are all doing the same wrong thing. That is when I decided to launch my own ‘Mindset Money Maker’ online course.

This course is Not a copy cat course. It is content that you will not find anywhere else and it teaches the basics of wealth building starting from Nothing to Slowly creating your own wealth building portfolios.

Now I own outright 80 acres of secluded property. I pay cash for my vehicles along with the annual insurance.

I had to learn and develop wealth building strategies that actually work. I would love to share them with you.
